Senator Daly has submitted a motion for today's meeting. I call on him to move the motion.
Business of Joint Committee
I am ready to move the motion but we will deal with it in Part B.
Sorry?
Are we discussing it in Part B?
We will deal with the motion now before we meet the witnesses.
It is under-----
The motion is now.
No, it is not. It is in the public part, motion re update on the Halawa case.
It is on the business now before we meet the Palestinian visitors.
No. It is stated on the agenda that the public part includes the motion re update.
I do not mind. If Senator Daly wants to hold off, that is fine.
We will hold off.
Okay, that is fine. I have no problem, one way or the other. I only thought Senator Daly wanted to deal with it early in the meeting.
We will hear the witnesses.
Okay, that is fine. We will deal with it after the presentation.
On a point of information, I am confused about the motion. There seems to be a motion, which I do not have, on the update of the case. Then there is a motion here, from Senator Mark Daly, looking for the legal team. Which motion are we talking about?
It is "the legal team" motion. It was on last week and Senator Daly was not present, and I decided I would put it off until this week when Senator Daly would be here.
I thank the Chairman.
What is Senator Daly looking for?
The motion is-----
What are we deferring?
The motion states:
That the committee ask the legal team for Ibrahim Halawa to come before the committee and give an update on his case.
That is the motion that was submitted from Senator Daly. I propose we deal with it now. Senator Daly says it was in the agenda at this early stage, even though everybody is here.
It is on the agenda that I got.
We will deal with it later.
Does Senator Daly want to leave it or have it now?
We will leave it.
I would prefer to have it now because we would get our meeting over. The witnesses are not expected in for approximately ten minutes.
We will deal with it later.
Does Senator Daly wish to leave it until later?
Yes.
Is Senator Daly deferring the motion for a week?
What is Senator Daly going to do with it? I need the Chairman's direction. I have not a clue where we are going with this motion.
Excuse me.
I have not a clue where we are going with this motion. Would the Chairman give us a clear explanation?
Senator Daly says it is down for later. We will deal with it afterwards, if he wants to propose to do so. I was only facilitating him by having it now.
Are we in public session?
We are in public session. We will get the witnesses and start the presentation, and then we will deal with Senator Daly's motion afterwards. Is that agreed? Agreed.
